 When tuning, it is often less expensive to just buy the parts you actually need rather than tuning kits, which can get pricey. So planning ahead is a good idea. Know what you have before buying additional parts. When tuning, it is often less expensive to just buy the parts you actually need rather than tuning kits, which can get pricey.

 While some people have had satisfactory results with the DJ kits, if you are having trouble getting a good tune on the carb, remove all DJ items and restore the carb to Keihin parts including buying another slide if it's been drilled. The stock parts are good quality and will provide excellent operation if the carb is tuned properly.

 **Main Jet** - The Main Jet itself does not begin to limit fuel delivery to the carb operation until the vacuum slide is 75-90% wide open and the engine is revving. Until then, other parts & factors (such as the idle mixture screw, slow-jet and needle position in the needle jet) are controlling the fuel utilized by the carb. **Main Jet** - The Main Jet itself does not begin to limit fuel delivery to the carb operation until the vacuum slide is 75-90% wide open and the engine is revving. Until then, other parts & factors (such as the idle mixture screw, slow-jet and needle position in the needle jet) are controlling the fuel utilized by the carb.
  
-**Needle** - The needle does not begin to supply ​fuel until the throttle plate opens sufficiently to create an active vacuum in the outer section of the venturi. The fuel mix supplied by your selected needle ​(and the emulsion tubewill combine with the transfer fuel mix of the slow jet as the carb operation moves out of the transfer period into the mid-range of the throttle/​slide function.+**Needle ​& Needle Jet** - The needle ​is a tapered, nail-like, rod that operates from the bottom of the slide into the needle jet. It does not affect the flow of fuel until the throttle plate opens sufficiently to create an active vacuum in the outer section of the venturi, which will lift the slide and move the needle in the needle jet. The fuel mix supplied ​thru the needle jet, by your selected needle and the emulsion tubewill combine with the transfer fuel mix of the slow jet as the carb operation moves out of the transfer period into the mid-range of the throttle/​slide function.\\ The main jet, located at the bottom of the emulsion tube, is way below where the needle rides and has no relationship with what the needle does other than to create an eventual upper fuel limit at WOT. ((wedge of the XLFORUM http://​xlforum.net/​forums/​showthread.php?​t=1820463&​page=9)) The needle rides in the needle jet which is the silver jet (hollow cylinder) that sticks up from the bottom of the throat of the carb and the needle moves up and down thru it during operation.\\ The tapered needle and needle jet together control fuel flow coming out of the emulsion tube into the throat. After the needle is almost up and out of the needle jet, then the main jet will become the limiting factor for the fuel flow at the wide open throttle position (WOT). Until the needle gets out of the way, the main jet is doing nothing to limit the needed fuel.\\ ( See this [[http://​xlforum.net/​forums/​showthread.php?​t=165259|XLForum Thread]] on needle dimensions) 
 + 
 +**Emulsion Tubes** ((stevo of the XLFORUM http://​xlforum.net/​forums/​showthread.php?​t=2876)):​ - As the throttle plate is opened further the main circuit comes into play. Fuel enters the bottom of the emulsion tube thru the main jet. Air enters thru the main air bleed jet in the front of the carb. The air and fuel are mixed into an emulsion in the emulsion tube before it passes up the tube past the needle jet and needle into the carb venturi and down the intake chasing after (combining with) the idle circuit fuel. The size, number and position of the holes in the emulsion tube effect the fuel delivery. More holes = more air = leaner mixture. More holes at the top = leaner mixture at low speeds. More holes at the bottom = leaner mixture at high speeds. If you change emulsion tubes you need to use a compatible needle. It will also have an effect on the main jet size (at WOT) and quite often the pilot circuit thru the just-off-idle response. Needles, needle jet, emulsion tube (size, position and amount of holes), main air bleed size and main jet are all closely linked. Changing one can affect the others and all have an affect on the fuel delivery to differing amount at different throttle positions. 
  
 **Throttle Plate** - To assure the throttle plate is capable of closing completely, back out the idle set screw (on the side of the carb near the throttle cable cam) so that it is not limiting the closing of the throttle plate. Carefully loosen the two throttle plate mounting screws, slightly. After the throttle plate is fully closed and has centered itself in the venturi, retighten the two mounting screws (don't overtighten & strip the threads). Make sure the throttle plate rotates smoothly with the throttle cable cam. Set the position of the throttle plate, with the idle set screw, so that the bottom edge of the plate is closed just past the transfer port holes and is thus located between the single idle port hole and the multiple holes of the transfer ports. (If by chance, for any reason, you have the throttle plate completely off, be aware that there is right & wrong way to reinstall it. Be sure the plate is remounted with the right orientation because the top & bottom have an angled edge that needs to properly meet the carb venturi.) **Throttle Plate** - To assure the throttle plate is capable of closing completely, back out the idle set screw (on the side of the carb near the throttle cable cam) so that it is not limiting the closing of the throttle plate.

-**IMS Cap** - From the factory, the cavity for the Idle Mixture Screw (IMS) is covered with a small cap. (Note from the service manual: Adjusting mixture setting by procedures other than those specified in the manual may be in violation of local regulations.) The following procedures are not specified in the manual. To remove the cap and gain access to the IMS, use a small drill bit to create a hole in the cap. Use several layers of tape on the drill bit to limit the depth the bit can penetrate the cap. If you pop thru the cap too deep with the bit, you may damage the internal screw head - Be Careful.

- 
-==== Disassembly ==== 
- 
-  *  
-  *  
- 
-==== Cleaning & Inspecting ==== 
-  * Make sure to take everything apart, jets, needle, accel pump, all rubber components especially. 
-  * Examine all parts for excessive wear, damage, distortion, etc. 
-  * Cleaning solutions/​sprays vary based upon your location, needs, budget, preferences and quality. Here are some ideas: ​ 
-     * An overnight soak in a solution of Pinesol and water followed up with a good brush down with a toothbrush then rinse and air dry. ((http://​www.hotrodders.com/​forum/​pinesol-really-does-clean-carburetors-amazingly-pics-inside-248810.html)) 
-     * A 20 minute soak in a gallon of Gunk (or other) Carburetor Cleaner that has a basket inside for small parts and lowers in the can with a handle, rinse, air dry, use. 
-     * An aerosol spray carb cleaner will also work but may not loosen all of the build up in the jets or orifices in the carb body if they'​re not directly sprayed through. ​ 
-  * Blow out all holes, jets and orifices thoroughly with forced air after cleaning. 
-  ​ 
-==== Replacement Parts ==== 
- 
-You can purchase individual parts or a rebuild kit. The kits will not have needles, jets or the spring, washer & o-ring for the Idle Mixture Screw. 
- 
-The rebuild kits are usually less than $20 and include: 
-  * Carb-to-Manifold Seal 
-  * Carb-to-Air Cleaner Gasket 
-  * Float Bowl Gasket/​O-ring 
-  * New Float Needle 
-  * New Accelerator Pump Diaphragm & Spring 
-  * Some Misc Parts/Seals 
- 
- 
-==== Assembly ==== 
-  * Do not lubricate the enrichment cable (misnamed Choke) on CV Carburetors - tension is needed. ((1998 FSM Pg 1-1))

 +**Float Bowl Overflow** - Notice the Overflow Tube in the above picture. The channel for the escape of that float bowl overflow was also used for a float bowl drain. This is shown at the beginning of this page on the picture of the bottom of the float bowl. This overflow was a safeguard against the failure of the float bowl valve from not closing. Should that happen, the fuel would be expelled onto the ground rather than being pushed into the intake manifold and filling the cylinders (and eventually the crankcase) with raw fuel.
 +
 +Note, however, that the 1998-2003 1200S carbs have no float bowl overflow tube protection. They also have no drain plug & hose to empty float chamber for off riding season or extended storage.
